Brief Review:

Handling: So far these are the best tires I have ever used. I like these much better than the pilot sports, the handling feels very balanced on these tires. On the ps2's the rear end of the car always felt light, like it was going to break away. With these tires the car feels very neutral, balanced.
Road noise: no road noise, VERY quiet!
Durability: I have around 2,000 miles so far and holding up great. 1 track day so far.
Wet: Very good, I haven't had any slips or surprises yet.
Dry: Amazing, they grip so well it is scary.
Overall: I love these tires, a significant upgrade over the Vredestein tires. I just wish these were a little cheaper. Overall these tires are absolutely amazing.
I also bought these due to recommendations. Have 10000 miles on them, they are great tires.
